Gauntlet image: Here (Scroll down)
Shield concept art: Here (Scroll down)
Intent: To create a shield that is wearable on the arm.
Development Thread:
Will add if needed
Manufacturer: ZNI ( http://starwarsrp.net/topic/79309-zuguruk-napasja-inc/ )
Model: Dispersion shield gauntlet Mk.2
Affiliation: Shawken, ZNI, Open market.
Modularity: Crystal can be replaced but will requite it's own submission for that.
Production: Mass-Produced.
Material: ray shield components, Magnetic shield components, particle shield components, Synthetic crystal.

Special features:
resistant to Lightsabers, blasters and slug throwers

Strengths:
Shield: This is intended towards protection.
Expansion: The shield is capable of being expanded.
Focus: The mk.2 is more focused on providing a defense against Blaster and slughthrower weaponry.

Weaknesses:
Ion weaponry: As most technology in the galaxy.
Expanding: when expanded the powercell is drained faster and requires to be turned off to get the smaller version up again.
Weak: A lightsaber's repeated strikes will deplete this shields powercell faster.

Description:
The phased energy force barriers projected by the Dispersion Shield can be used to fend off close combat attacks with ease, including blows from weapons such as lightsabers that would otherwise smite a lesser foe. Dispersion Shields are also capable of deflecting incoming enemy fire using the advanced shield generators built into the device. If there are any nearby enemy units, users will often aim the shield so as to deflect this firepower into them instead, an action which can cause grievous casualties but requires quite a bit of skill in using the shield and reflexes above those of normal beings. What it can do however is protect the wielder with the 1 meter diameter that is a blend of magnetic shielding and of a ray shield. It is however capable of expanding the diameter from one meter towards three meters in a larger circumference but it needs to be turned off to get back to the smaller 1 meter diameter shield again.

Using a similar principle of what the lightsaber's magnetic deflection. Since blaster bolts are either plasma or high energy particles held in place by a magnetic bubble. When they strike a target, that bubble dissipates, releasing its contents to "splash" the target with the plasma/particles. Similarly a lightsaber is plasma held in place by a magnetic field. When it strikes a target, that magnetic field is selectively disrupted at the point of impact and heat of the plasma is released.
When a blaster bolt strikes a lightsaber, the magnetic bubble of the blaster bolt and the magnetic field of the lightsaber have a fully elastic collision, so neither the bolt nor the lightsaber are disrupted. Both bounce back from the collision. However since the momentum involved is fairly low (momentum = velocity * mass and the mass involved is incredibly low), the bounce back of the lightsaber is easily compensated for by the muscles of the wielder, while the bolt is reflected back at the shooter or another target guided by a combination of physics and the force.
Ray shielding works against blasters in a very similar fashion. The magnetic bubble of the blaster bounces off the magnetic field of the shield. This does however drain the shields powercell just like blasters and slugthrowers do.

Now since the shield does rely on a powercell it is capable of being overwhelmed if put under prolonged and sustained abuse. Alternatively the shield is vulnerable towards Ion weaponry. When expanded the shield has an easier time of being overwhelmed as the powercell requires to pump out more power to sustain the expanded diameter. The MK.2 Differs from it's MK.1 predecessor in the manner that this is a shield thought to provide battlefield defense for medics and the like and is aimed more towards protecting against blaster and slug weaponry rather than a lightsaber, as such the difference in the magnetic fields protecting a lightsaber will drain this shield faster than slug and blaster weaponry does.

Same edit as I requested for the Mark One, plz, plus you can mention that last bit in Weaknesses:

Like with the MK.1 I added the particle shields since this is supposed to be a sort of homage towards captain americas energy shield rather than a reskin to "those gungan things"...
